Many people have emailed me asking about the TSF samples on MSDN.  They’re supposed to be on MSDN code gallery, although they don’t appear to be there. They are, however, part of the Windows SDK . After installation, you'll find them in %programfiles%\Microsoft Read More...

Things the Documentation left out, part N

I recently had two people ask me the same question: "Why can't I insert more than one character into a composition on Notepad?" It's actually a bit more complicated than that, since this behavior only appears to happen on Windows XP with a US English Read More...

You might have noticed that I haven't really talked about text stores on this blog. That's because I've been working on an article for MSDN Magazine on just that very subject. It's in the July 2007 issue, and I just got my copy in the mail, so if you're Read More...

Generating Candidates from an Application

Kirby left a comment to my post on candidates asking when a text service should create an ITfCandidateList. The answer is that when the text service wants to show candidates (via a preserved key or other mechanism), it should show its modal UI, and quite Read More...

TSF Application interfaces
